Underground Comedy

  • Comedy
  • Entertainment

Underground Comedy is an independent pop-up venue at the Queen Victoria Women’s Centre for the 2026 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

The program of shows promises to honour the legacy that Queen Victoria Women’s Centre has created over the years with their involvement with MICF. Supporting women, femme, trans and gender diverse artists and their allies. It is an intimate 30 seat space that fills a gap in the independent venue scene.

The slate of shows includes the return of a much beloved comedy trio and a hand picked selection of local, interstate and international comedians.
